| Fresh Tomatoes |
This is one of those super fast and super simple meals from La Povera Cucina (The poor kitchen) that will blow your mind at just how good it is! We eat this when I don't want to cook but want something that feels like a homecooked meal.
Ingredients
Cannellini Beans 1 can rinsed/drained or 2 cups (canned or precooked)
*1& 1/2 pounds fresh small-ish tomatoes (small plum, cherry, sweetie, gold nugget, grape etc..) ~OR~1 cup prepared tomato sauce
fresh basil
olive oil
salt & pepper
*For Fresh Tomato Recipe:1 garlic clove minced and 1/4 cup white wine
White Cheese to serve on top (Parmesan, Feta, Burrata, Gorgonzola ,Fontina, etc...)
Day Old Bread
Fresh tomatoes: Heat olive oil in skillet add garlic and soften on medium low heat (don't burn or brown), as soon as it softens add wine cook 1 minute then add tomatoes and bring to a low simmer, cover and allow to cook down a few minutes. Once they are cooked down and very soft use a potato or meat masher to mash tomatoes. Cook a few minutes without the lid. You can remove any skins that are not attached to tomatoes using a tong if you like but this step is not necessary. Add beans salt and pepper to taste and cook for a few more minutes.
Directions
Remove from heat add chopped basil & cheese. Stir to melt in.
Serve over toasted Italian Bread that was rubbed with garlic, salted and drizzled with olive oil yummy!
Tomato Sauce: Heat a little olive oil with sauce, then add beans and cook on low simmer for a few minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat add chopped basil & cheese. Stir to melt in.
Serve with day old bread broken up and incorporated into the dish OR over toasted Italian Bread that was rubbed with garlic, salted and drizzled with olive oil yummy!
